BTW, this version looks fine to me. On IRC, Olof said it looked OK to
him. I'm just waiting to hear back from Olof/Russell whether I should
merge this through the Tegra tree, or whether the first 1-3 patches
should go through Russell's tree.

I pinged Russell, and he brought up the fact that there were earlier
requests to move it to drivers/firmware. It would make sense to try to
get that done before merging, especially if you anticipate someone
using TF on 64-bit platforms.

IIRC when we discussed this point your last comment was as follows:

So I thought we agreed on that. If in the end we prefer to move the ARM firmware interface into drivers/firmware, I'm fine with that too (Tomasz also confirmed he would be ok with it) but I wonder if that would not be somehow premature.

Another worry of mine is that this might delay this patchset some more. Support for TF is one of the last remaining step towards making NVIDIA branded Tegra retail devices (SHIELD and TegraNote at the moment) run upstream directly. I missed 3.13, I'd like to make sure I won't miss 3.14. Would it be acceptable if we move the ARM firmware interface to a common place after this patchset is merged?
